These comments from opposition managers/coaches are becoming a theme. You often see diplomatic, positive remarks that you can easily see are just that. But these comments coming in about our team seems like, they're really awestruck by our team
Eh? No it wasn't. Unless you count 1960 instead of 1961. By that rationale, half of the seasons played have been 'in a leap year'.
ochlol:Buuuuuut...
THIS.
Illuminati confirmed.
The Swansea coach, Alan Curtis, could only marvel at how well Tottenham played. “They were probably just too good for us, truth be told,” he said. “Spurs kept coming and coming and coming.
“It is a difficult place to come now, they are a terrific side. They’ve got pace, power and technical ability. We just kept being forced back by wave upon wave of attacks. They are so difficult to play against. There seems to be a belief in this Spurs side, and you could sense that from the crowd.”
So, with 11 games left, can Spurs overhaul Leicester?
“I thought they could win the title before the game,” Curtis said. “But having seen them up close, I think it even more now.”

Well, I had to miss the match for family reasons. Nothing too serious but I was supposed to be looking after my wife. The way I screamed, jumped and shouted when Rose scored put her in floods of tears. Plus, she had just brilliantly said that I should think about going to Dortmund. It's weird but I've never felt so good making someone I love cry. I adore this team so much.
I knew even at one down, that we would win.
I knew that the Salford team would beat Woolwich.
I knew that the east Midland provincial team would be aghast at yet another win by Spurs.
I knew when Alan Gilzean - yes, that's Alan Gilzean, ALAN FUCKING GILZEAN!
Came out onto the White Hart Lane turf. and reiterated "Once a Tottenham man. always a Tottenham man," I just knew that 'The King of White Hart lane' - and I was there when he was - knew what we knew.
That we will beat whoever you send against us, and as God is my witness, we will never go hungry again.
Sorry, got a bit emotional there with the Scarlett O" Hara quote, but, frankly my dear, . . . .

OMG.... If that's true we won't win the title again until 2061.....
I'll be 96 fer chrissakes........!
Sorry to hear that. At least Tottenham cheered you up.
at least you can be certain that even till 2061 West Ham won't win it
Brilliant! The atmosphere was great today, a year ago we'd have been booed off at 1-0. The fans stuck with the team, created a really good atmosphere and the players responded.
I think the fans are really starting to believe, today was a different atmosphere to the norm where everyone still thought we could come back and win it.
Once we got the equaliser it was never in doubt.
Big three points, makes it six league wins in a row and we seem to be hitting form at the right time. Players have so much belief and you never want to write them off.
We have a tough run of games but I wouldn't back against us doing it. Can't believe we're going in to March even with a chance.
We're really witnessing the start of something special.

This!!! Seconds before the half time whistle I thought to myself.. "Scum-fans would be booing in a couple of seconds.. I hope we don't"
And there it was - clapping at the sound of the whistle! Well done WHL, and the atmosphere seemed really intense in the 2nd half. And looking at how the guys down there fought, it's no wonder!
This is really really good to hear, I even had a mate in the Paxton who said the crowd even that end genuinely believed today, how could you not we dominated from start to finish
Love it

Let's hope Wenger has same comments next weekend.
Rose said the players got a bollocking at half time 'for not showing Swansea enough respect, especially in the first twenty minutes" and I think that's spot on. It was my only gripe with today, we were a little bit too careless and sloppy at times. Second half we absolutely battered them.
